How do removals to Bulgaria from the UK work?
Removals from the UK to Bulgaria by road, sea or air, door-to-door. We collect and pack your belongings in the UK and complete the customs entry form. You will need a passport, proof that you have deregistered from the UK, proof of residence in Bulgaria, and a signed inventory.
How long do removals to Bulgaria take?
Road freight to Bulgaria typically takes 6 to 12 days from collection to delivery, depending on the route and whether you book a full load or a part load. A part load adds consolidation time because the vehicle departs when it is full, not when you are ready.

What Are the Costs of International Removals to Bulgaria?
The cost depends on volume, the service you choose and access at both ends. A part load means you share a container and pay only for the space you use, which suits smaller homes. A full load is yours alone. A free survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Although moving to Bulgaria can be expensive, we keep costs to a minimum. Whether you are moving a small apartment, a large house, or an office, we have a solution for every budget.
- Part-load shipping: Share a container and only pay for the space you use. This is ideal for smaller homes or apartments.
- Full load shipping: Rent a 20ft or 40ft container for a whole house or office.
The final cost depends on several factors, including your location, your shipment’s weight, and the shipping method. Your move coordinator will give a detailed quote before you agree to use our service. Additional costs will include:
- Customs fees and duties
- Packing and unpacking service
- Storage solutions if needed
- Special handling charges for fragile or valuable items
Should I use road, sea or air freight to Bulgaria?
Road freight is the usual choice: cheaper than air, faster than sea, with scheduled departures and either a shared van (where you pay for the space you use) or a dedicated truck on a date you pick. Air freight is the fastest and is priced by weight. Many people send urgent items by air and the bulk by road or sea.
Removals.co.uk provides flexible removal services to Bulgaria from the UK:
Air Freight
If you need your items quickly, air freight is the best shipping option. As with any quick option, it is also more expensive. Your quotes are based on the overall weight of your shipment. You can pick up your items at the airport, or have our diligent international team deliver everything to your new home in Bulgaria. Many customers choose air freight for high-priority items and sea freight for the bulk of their belongings, which is cheaper.
Road Freight
Road freight is a well-known and affordable way to move to Bulgaria. It is also quicker than sea freight and cheaper than air freight. There are multiple options to choose from. The first is the shared service, where your possessions are transported in a shared moving van with other shipments, so you pay less. The second is the dedicated service, where a private truck is assigned to transport your items on a date you choose. Our road freight service ensures fast transit times and scheduled departures. So you won’t have to wait long for your goods.
Sea Freight
Sea freight is a cost-effective, reliable shipping solution for large shipments to Bulgaria. We can arrange either a shared container, where you pay only for the space you use, or a dedicated container, where you can choose a 20ft or 40ft container for your move. A 20ft container should fit a three-bedroom home, while a 40ft container suits larger homes. Thanks to our partnerships with global shipping companies, we deliver your shipment on time to your address in Bulgaria. With our services, you can track your shipment.

What documents do I need for removals to Bulgaria?
Do I pay duty on my belongings going to Bulgaria?
Usually no. Under the EU transfer of residence relief,, you can bring household goods into Bulgariaduty-freey if you lived outside the EU for at least twelve continuous months, owned and used the items for at least six months before you left, and bring them in within twelve months of establishing your Bulgarian residence.
Alcohol and tobacco never qualify, nor do commercial vehicles or anything intended for use in a trade or profession, other than portable instruments of the applied or liberal arts. For twelve months after your goods are released,, you may not lend, hire out, pledge or sell them, as your import declaration confirms. Where the relief does not apply, because you have not been outside the EU long enough or the goods are new, duty and VAT become payable, which is why your quote lists customs fees and duties as a possible cost rather than promising there will be none.

Removals to Bulgaria: frequently asked questions
How long do removals to Bulgaria take?
Road freight to Bulgaria typically takes 6 to 12 days from collection to delivery, depending on the route and whether you use a dedicated truck or a shared van. A shared load waits for other consignments, so it sits at the longer end.
Do I pay duty on my belongings?
Usually no. Under the EU transfer of residence relief, you need to have lived outside the EU for 12 continuous months, owned and used items for at least 6 months before you left, and imported them within 12 months of establishing residence. Alcohol, tobacco and commercial vehicles are excluded.
What documents do I need?
A copy of the passport, proof of deregistration from the UK, proof of residence (such as a rental contract or property deed), a signed itemised inventory with values, and a declaration of import for the transfer of residence confirming that the goods are used and will not be sold for a year.
What affects the cost?
Volume: the service you choose and access at both ends. A part load means you share a container and pay only for the space you use; a full load is yours alone. A free survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Should I use road, sea or air freight?
Road is the usual choice, cheaper than air and faster than sea, whether by shared van or dedicated truck. Air freight is the fastest and is priced by weight. Sea freight suits large volumes when time is not pressing.
Which parts of Bulgaria do you deliver to?
We deliver everywhere, from Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna to smaller towns and rural addresses. Delivery is door-to-door, with the final leg included in your quote rather than charged separately.
Will a lorry reach my property?
Where a full-size lorry cannot reach the door, or a town centre restricts vehicle size and delivery hours, the final leg transfers to a smaller shuttle vehicle. Flag access at the survey rather than on delivery day.
